Re: game vs wigan on TV?????

I need more question marks before I can answer.

 

[Marvin]

Is Ntcham fit, because he is not in the EDS team or bench either tonight and if Rodwell really is injured, he may have been pushed into the squad?

MEN suggesting Rodwell has a knock but I think he's hoping to be fit for Villa at the weekend

We've got Bayern coming up soon so I think Pellegrini will make a lot of changes. I hope he does. What matters is that the players who come in are up for it. This is a chance to win a trophy

---------------------Pants
Richards---Boyata---Nasty---Lescott
--------------------Garcia
----?????---Milner---Lopes
-------------Dzeko---Jovetic

No

I dont think Pellegrini should play the same team against Wigan that played against Utd,Wigan will be tough,he should play our first team.

So from that Lopes, Pozo, Ntcham, Johansen, Huws who could potentially get a few minutes tomorrow?

You fellas think Pantilimon hates being called Pants or Panti? I can just picture Joe or Micah giving him shit constantly.

Lopes should do (may get a start), and he has been left out of the u21 squad tonight. Ntcham and Huws may be on the bench as they aren't playing either. Can't see Johansen getting any minutes with Pants in goal and Pozo is still injured so his chances are zero.

He shouldn't have such a long name then.

2bh it's meant in an endearing way and for a 2nd choice keeper that's good going in all honesty.

Clichy can't play

I still have nightmares about Callum McManaman running past him at the FA Cup Final.

Because Kolarov would fair much better...

You mean fare I presume, Kolarov is indeed quite fair, especially compared to Clichy.

And with Kolarov, you know he's shit defensively so the LDM or LCB is expected to cover for him and he provides vital attacking threat. Clichy provides almost no attacking threat and gets defensively beaten so that's completely useless.

I think Huws might be injured, and Pozo and Ntcham may not be fully fit. Greg Leigh could be involved though.
